Well, DD is negative after a mini-bout with Covid, and I never got it, so if things stay stable (and I hide out for a month), we may actually get to SBH..but here is my question: If we are theoretically supposed to take a Winair flight at 4:00 PM from SXM, and the arrival in SBH requires a no more than 24 hour antigen test to enter SBH, and our test is done the day we leave in California (4 hour time difference from SBH), does the SBH government take into account the time difference?
I was thinking of booking an antigen test at a clinic near here for a mid-late afternoon appointment day of departure, because our plane leaves at 11:00 PM at night and we land the following day (SAN-fly overnight to MIA-SXM-SBH). It does not seem as though you have to upload an antigen test for SXM on the EHAS form (just the vaccination card) at this point since we are triple vaccinated, and I have not seen any form that you fill out in advance to enter SBH. I thought all you had to have to enter SBH is your vaccination card and your 24 hr. or less antigen test on your phone and of course, backup printed paperwork.
It seems to me that if we get a test here in California around 3 or 4 PM California time, that would be the equivalent of 7 or 8 PM Saint-Barth time, so if we actually made our 4 PM SXM-SBH Winair flight on time the following day, we would be within the 24 hour time frame to enter SBH.
Anyone have any experience with the significant time change on tests and how the SBH arrival people judge your 24 hour test?? I know this question is probably not significant for the East Coast travelers, but it may impact our trip...so thank you in advance for any knowledge or thoughts you have. I am familiar with the eMed opportunity, and may have to use it in an emergency..I may order a few of those tests to have on hand to use in Miami during the layover if necessary..but that is cutting it pretty close!! (MIA has testing if you go out of security but who knows what sort of zoo you would be running into..definitely do not want to trust that!)
Merci en avance! We are counting down...with caution!! Looking forward to the Kevin Resto 2022 Extravaganza List!:heart1:
